Hi,
Were considering moving to lakewood from Boro park. Which cheders aremost similar to Chasam Sofer in Bp and which girls school is most similar to little Bais Yaakov in bp? Thank you so much!
P.s. Please no comments about how difficult it is to get into schools, I am fully aware of the situation.

What is little BY of BP? Is that a different school, not the regular BYBP?
Bais Faiga would be most similar to BYBP. You asked for no comments in a certain direction, so not going to say it....

Thanks for the explanation.....rather paradoxical to call that school little, don't you think?

I find only people who are not part of BYBP call it 'little BY.' In all my years there I have never heard of it. I've only heard it from Boro Parkers who don't send there...

Back to the OP's question - I'm not familiar with Brooklyn boys' schools but BYBP is on my radar. BF is most like it but I'm sure you will want to consider more choices. There are other schools in Lakewood that are "like" Bais Faiga in many ways. It depends what you are looking for (no other school is as big as BF, but I doubt that is what you care about).
How old are your girls? Some newer schools only go up to a certain grade. I've heard that Nachalas BY is similar to BF, for example, but it is newish. I'm not sure what grade it goes up to. Bnos Devorah also has some similarities to BF and it is a full elementary school - though one of it's similarities happens to be that it is also very full, like BF.....
You might post what aspect of BYBP you are looking for, as that might expand your choices....
Hatzlacha!

I also lived in bp for many years and never heard anyone call it "little". I lived around the corner.
I think the new stolin is close the chasam sofer. are you heimish? stolin is heimish. real yeshivish. good place. really new. its the first or second year.
toras emes. is also heimish. somewhat chasidish. mostly not. talmud torah is also heimish type.
op are you heimish?

OP you have to be much more clear about what you're looking for. "Little" BY is a very eclectic school. Lakewood schools a a bit more specifically "typed."

(I think it's called little BY because the regular title Bais Yakov referred to the BY high school so "little BY" became the nickname for the elementary. Not sure if it's still like that but that's how we referred to it when we were high schoolers years ago).

I dont know why. I went to both, they are completely unaffiliated with each other. One was called BY elementary, and one BY high school.

I remember this too, the BY high school girls would refer to BYBP as "Little BY" just to differentiate between BYHS and BY elementary school, even though they aren't affiliated.

I've heard my relatives also refer it to as little BY and BY. (They're in their thirties and forties. I don't hear anyone refer to it like that these days.)
